Our Dog Training Philosophy

Our philosophy has matured beyond basic obedience. We follow your dog’s emotional cues to foster a deep communicative bond between pet and owner. It's about building a relationship based on mutual respect and understanding.

Our Dog Training Programs

Our programs are tailored to meet your dog's specific needs and your family’s lifestyle. Families receive private lessons at the close of our programs, as well as post-program support.

Basic Obedience Dog Training

Our Dog Obedience and Puppy Obedience training programs focus on balancing learning with play. They are designed to reinforce basic commands and ensure your dog responds reliably in various real-life situations, enhancing their overall behavior and your control. Springdale Pet Ranch is staffed by a group of expert dog training professionals rather than just one. This means your dog works with multiple trainers throughout their program, a key part in separating the training from the person giving the commands. We want your pup to respond to your entire family by the time training is over, not just our trainers! Plus, having a whole training team means we’re always on hand to support you before, during, and after your dog’s training. Cue words taught during basic obedience classes include: sit, down, stay, come, heel, let’s go, place, relax, off, quiet, leave it and take it, out, give, focus, and wait.

  • Stay and Train: Our Stay and Train program is perfect for busy pet parents. Leave your dog with us for a comprehensive learning experience that includes daily training sessions focused on obedience, manners, and more. While you’re away on vacation or traveling for work, we’ll hone your dog’s skills and manners—in between lots of love and fun.
  • Play and Train: Combining fun with learning, our Play and Train program ensures your dog gets plenty of exercise and socialization while also receiving structured training sessions. Whether your dog is a social butterfly or prefers human friends, our Play & Train program offers a mix of fun and education in a supervised, structured setting.
  • Manners: Teach your dog the essential manners needed to become a well-behaved member of the family. From polite greetings to not jumping on guests, we cover it all. Add Manners Sessions to your pet’s next boarding stay or visit us for Enhanced Daycare! Enhanced Daycare is a next-level daycare experience with extra fun and stimulation, including a built-in Manners Session for all dogs who have completed a Springdale Basic Dog Obedience program. When you are searching for dog training near your work or home, you will find we have the solutions to fit your training needs.

Lifestyle Assistance Dog Training - COMING SOON!

This unique program caters to dogs that already know basic obedience and families that need a bit of assistance from their dog. From opening the refrigerator, turning out lights, and retrieving household items to reducing your anxiety, your dog will become a true contributing member of your family. This is particularly beneficial for the elderly or those with physical limitations. Along with cues like settle, under, center, sit in front, chin rest, lap, nudge, tug and get it, movement maneuvers help your dog to walk in sync with you, allowing you to get around more smoothly and efficiently. Lifestyle Assistance Training truly elevates the bond you share with your canine partner. Before enrolling in the Lifestyle Training Program, you and your dog will undergo an initial evaluation with our trainers to determine your needs and appropriate cues for your dog.

Dog Sport Guest Training

From time to time, Springdale brings in guest trainers for dog sports including Rally, Fungility, and more! These non-competitive classes help build stronger bonds between dogs and their human companions, developing skills that can translate to everyday life. Dog sports can be a great way to strengthen bonds, improve coordination, and engage their bodies and minds. Having fun leads to happier and healthier pets and humans.

Puppy Training

Springdale always welcomes puppies! Start your puppy off on the right paw. Did you know that dogs can learn over 150 words? Puppies are no exception. At Springdale, we take puppy training slowly and focus on consistency, while keeping lessons fun and positive. We love to expose puppies to new sights and sounds around the ranch, helping them to grow up to be well-behaved, social dogs.

“This is the most amazing, caring, friendly, professional, and loving place you can imagine. In a few weeks, they changed our pup into a more attentive, smarter, well-behaved dog. She heels perfectly and makes me look good, lol. She does so many different things that have made my life easier. I recommend them to everyone, they are great. Thank you, Springdale!”
